I'm amazed how far this thread has gotten, very entertaining to say the least. Thanks, you managed to get a few chuckles out of this grumpy old man. And then the topic switched over to daughters. I have three myself as well as three granddaughters with the oldest being 14. The two oldest play hockey and since the oldest had out grown her goalie skates my better half promised her a new pair. $400, are you kidding me!!!!!!!!!! And that wasn't the top of the line. I thought I was finished when the last one moved out 2 years ago but the merry go round just keeps on going. Today I get the honor of paying for my son's wedding rehearsal dinner. It's only money.

I could watch Gene Gene the Dancin machine or the unknown comic anytime. Were any of the judges sober on that show? Chuck looked stoned all of the time. Not only did Chuck give us the Gong Show, his shows also made "making whoopee" a national phrase and asked contestant number three "if you were a vegetable and I was a fruit what vegetable would you be?"

Chuck Barris was in on the joke. Doesn't make him a genius, as some misguided revisionists want you to believe.

When I saw Chuck Berry died earlier in the week for whatever weird reason I thought of Chuck Barris. Then he dies a few days later...

2 Chuck Berry stories:

1. My ex brother in law owned a trailer park in Wright City, Mo. He heard of a trailer for sale and called the number. It turned out out to be located on Chuck Berry's property in Wentzville Mo. When he got out of his car to look at the trailer, Chuck Berry shot at him with a shotgun from about 200 hundred yards away. He drove off in a hurry. He called the guy who was handling the transaction for Chuck, and the guy called back and said, "we informed Mr Berry that you were there to buy the trailer, you can come back out with no issues".

2. I was given tickets to attend Chucks 80th Birthday party at Blueberry Hill in the Delmar Loop/Central rear end area. My buddies and I were a little late, and were trotting down Delmar to get there on time. That area has sidewalk cafe's all around. As I trotted by some skinny hippie white dude with dreadlocks, his freaking pit bull jumped out and bit my leg. I yelled out at him and he said "chill out dude!!!" And I said "Chill out? Your dog just bit my F•%#*^>>ing Leg!!!!"  So.....I watched the Chuck Berry mini concert with a slightly bleeding leg
